- Physicians and technologists at Boston-based Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have joined forces to build a virtual Web nursery that provides parents of sick infants with support and information while their babies fight to survive in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, as well as cutting the time the infant must spend in the NICU. The Web nursery project, called Baby CareLink, began in 1996 with a 3-year $2.8 million grant from the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. Baby CareLink combines multiple technologies - PCs, videoconferencing, high-speed Internet connectivity and high performance database software - to provide bi-directional communication between families and their premature babies, as well as the NICU healthcare professionals.
